The Scheming Billionaire's Heartfelt Devotion-Chapter 828 - 843: Or I’ll Call the Police

Zhong Li nodded, extending her right hand. The clerk put the ring on Zhong Li’s slender finger: "It’s really beautiful, this ring perfectly matches your aura."

Zhong Li slightly raised her right hand, smiling as she looked at the big and shiny diamond ring on her hand.

Gu Nanxi took out the men’s ring from the velvet box and put it on his hand, reaching out to hold Zhong Li’s suspended right hand: "Do you like it?"

"I like it, thank you."

"Silly, why say thank you to me?"

The clerk looked at the two of them and smiled: "Mr. Gu, you and your girlfriend are truly well-matched."

This wasn’t just flattery; she genuinely thought they made a great couple.

Gu Nanxi smiled and nodded slightly, then took out his wallet from his pants pocket, pulling out a card and handing it to the clerk: "Charge the card, please."

The clerk smiled as she took the card from Gu Nanxi’s hand: "Please wait a moment."

After the card was charged, Gu Nanxi and Zhong Li left. The two of them took the elevator upstairs, thinking to stroll around casually, but as soon as they stepped out of the elevator and walked a few steps, they saw a man hurriedly walking by with a little boy in his arms, looking somewhat panicked.

The little boy was crying and wriggling in the man’s arms, his mouth covered, only making weak "mmm" sounds.

"Nancy, look, something seems off about that man."

Zhong Li suddenly stopped and pointed in that direction.

Gu Nanxi looked in the direction Zhong Li pointed: "Let’s go over and ask."

Zhong Li nodded, and the two quickly caught up, blocking the man’s path: "Hello sir, why is this child crying continuously?"

Although Zhong Li used polite language, her gaze was filled with suspicion. With so many human traffickers these days, she couldn’t help but think in that direction.

The man’s face turned cold for a moment but quickly returned to normal: "This child is too naughty. Just now, in the toy store, he got into a fight with another kid. I scolded him a bit in anger, and he wouldn’t stop crying. His mother has spoiled him too much." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

The child looked about three or four years old, continuously shaking his head at Zhong Li, struggling with all his little might.

Zhong Li glanced at the child, then frowned and looked up: "Can you please release your hand? I have a few questions for this child."

"I don’t know you, get out of the way, my grandson and I need to go home."

The man’s expression showed some panic. He brushed past Zhong Li and started to walk away when Gu Nanxi darkened his eyes and firmly held the man’s shoulder: "Let go of the child now, or I’ll call the police."

Hearing the words "call the police," the man was completely panicked. He raised his hand and directly threw the child out, turning to run.

Zhong Li watched as the child was thrown and hurriedly ran to catch him, twisting her ankle in her rush, but fortunately, the child wasn’t hurt.

Gu Nanxi came over, squatting down to help Zhong Li up, worriedly asking: "Are you okay?"

"I’m fine, don’t worry about me, go after that human trafficker, don’t let him get away."

Zhong Li frowned slightly, never loosening her hold on the child.

"Wait here for me." With that, Gu Nanxi took off in the direction the man fled.

Zhong Li looked at the little boy who was crying so hard he couldn’t speak, gently raising her hand to wipe the tears from his face: "Don’t cry, it’s all right now. Can you tell sister where your parents are?"
